Polar Vortex by Matthew Mather
A flight disappears over the North Pole.
No distress calls. Vanished into thin air.
Mitch Matthews is a writer struggling to make ends meet when his wife's brother Josh offers them a first-class seat on a flight from Hong Kong to New York. When his wife needs to stay behind, it becomes an opportunity for some quality daddy-daughter time with his five-year-old Lilly.
At check-in, they run into a strange Norwegian arguing with a huge Russian. A mysterious redhead is guarding a package in the business lounge. But everything is fine...Right up until...
Within hours of Allied Airlines 695 disappearing, a massive international search is launched. Aircraft and ships are dispatched from Russia, America, Canada and Norway...
How can a modern airliner simply vanish in one of the most heavily monitored places on Earth? Right in the middle of an area overflown by dozens of satellites from as many nations, ringed by Cold War-era radar and missile installations? Global tensions rise. The media and grieving families whip into a frenzy. The armed forces of America and Russia tip the world toward the brink of apocalyptic war. Weeks later. Found on the ice. A chance discovery. The journal of Mitch Matthews reveals the incredible truth behind the disappearance of Allied 695, and what really happened in... ...the Polar Vortex.Matthew Mather began his professional career at the McGill Center for Intelligent Machines after graduating with a degree in electrical engineering. He went on to build one of the first tactile feedback companies in the world, which went on to become the industry leader, as well as produce an award-winning brain training video game. He's worked on a range of start-ups in the meantime, ranging from computational nanotechnology to electronic health records, weather prediction systems to genomics, and even social intelligence research. In 2009, he embarked on a new adventure, returning to the source of his technical career's inspiration: all those late nights spent as a child and teenager reading the great masters of science fiction. He resolved to write his own science fiction novel, which became The Atopia Chronicles. He splits his time between Montreal, Quebec, and Charlotte, North Carolina.
